CDC recommendations for minimizing the risk of COVID-19:
- Wear a mask any time you are within six feet of someone who doesn't live in your household.
- Be sure to wear a mask properly, making sure it fits the face and covers both the nose and mouth at all times.
- Practice social distancing, staying at least six feet away from others.
- Wash your hands regularly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer.
- Wash hands before and after handling your mask.
- Avoid crowds and poorly ventilated spaces where social distancing is not possible including restaurants, movie theaters, sporting events, and other places where masks may not be worn or social distancing may not be observed.
- Cough and sneeze inside the mask or into an elbow, keeping the mouth covered at all times.
- Clean and disinfect surfaces regularly.
- Self-quarantine if you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19.
- Monitor for a fever or other symptoms if you begin experiencing symptoms and get tested as needed.
CDC guidelines for vaccinated individuals:
Visit with other fully vaccinated people indoors without wearing masks or staying 6 feet apart. Visit with unvaccinated people from one other household indoors without wearing masks or staying 6 feet apart if everyone in the other household is at low risk for severe disease. Refrain from quarantine and testing if they do not have symptoms of COVID-19 after contact with someone who has COVID-19.
These recommendations still apply for interacting with the unvaccinated public:
Wear a well-fitted mask. Stay at least 6 feet from people you do not live with. Avoid medium- and large-sized in-person gatherings. Get tested if experiencing COVID-19 symptoms. Follow guidance issued by individual employers. Follow CDC and health department travel requirements and recommendations.
